Vida, Hero MotoCorp's electric brand, has launched the VX2 Plus electric scooter priced at Rs 144,000. It packs a 4.4kWh battery for a 187km range and a top speed of 90km/h. It supports DC fast charging and reportedly set a record with Asia Book of Records.
India's two-wheeler market is currently one of the world's most active sites for electrification experimentation. The fact that Hero-affiliated Vida achieved this price and range will likely ripple out to emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Latin America too. The numbers show a tectonic shift steadily in progress.

What record did they set for the Asia Book of Records?
It's probably a range or charging-related record, India loves that kind of PR.
187km with DC fast-charging support is genuinely practical, want it to come to Japan too.
Even the Hero group's getting serious about electrification in India, and given the market size that really matters.
144,000 rupees, about ¥250,000 in yen? That's cheap for an electric at this price.
4.4kWh for 187km is efficient. 90km/h top speed is plenty for city riding.
187km range is probably just the catalog figure, real-world's likely around 70% of that.
